ces2.4

This is the community wiki page for the gene ces2.4 please feel free to add any information that is relevant to this gene that is not already captured elsewhere in Xenbase.

nomenclature changes

December 28, 2018 this gene name/symbol was changed from ces2 to ces3.4. Evidence includes the Ensembl ces3 gene tree as well as partial synteny with human CES3 locus.

Xenopus gene name and gene symbol changes from ces3.4, carboxylesterase 3, gene 4 to ces2.4, carboxylesterase 2, gene 4 following gene family review.


The Xenopus res genes appear to be tandem duplicates, that fall within a single clade which is most closely relates to the Human CES2 genes, not the CES3 genes as previously thought.

Applying Xenopus nomenclature, we have renamed all CES2 orthologs , with X. tropicalis ces2.1-ces2.8, from left to right, and X. laevis' genes ces2.1.L-ces2.5.L from left to right. There are no genes on the X. laevis S subgenome.
